I've been wanting to share these photographs that my friend Neal (above) sent me some time ago. They are of the ship that goes from port to port on the Great Lakes delivering... I'm not sure what it delivers. Looks like it might be a container ship so it could be just about anything.
Neal is studying to be an nautical engineer in order to settle into life as a mechanic-of-the-seas, if he'll allow me to phrase it in that manner. Not long ago he emailed from Spain as his ship had just put in there. So he's experienced what us air-going folk probably never will -- what it was like to traverse the ocean by ship. I'm sure it isn't as romantic as it sounds, or as the first hour of the movie Titantic made it out to be. Of course, Neal is on a ship full of men, so let's hope it isn't romantic at all!
Sail on, Neal. May the wind always be at your back.
